Cake and charities... what could be better?

If you don't already read the blog Cake Wrecks, you definitely should. Even on the worst days I'm guaranteed at least a little giggle (back in the cubicle days, it generally brought laughter loud enough that I had to explain to my co-workers).

Anyway, I checked in for my morning snicker and saw this. Instead of buying all the standard holiday trappings, they are donating to a different charity every day for the next two weeks and inviting their readers to do the same. They suggested the idea of each reader donating a dollar to the days charity, which would raise like $80,000 each day! Can you imagine? They're even willing to listen to reader suggestions of charities!

I don't know that I can do a dollar every day, but I'm gonna try. And I'm kinda psyched actually. Reading all about it really brightened my morning after the crazy no-doors-will-open-and-security-is-gonna-freak-on-you morning I had. But that's a silly story that will come later I'm sure. Once I've had enough time to tell it with maximum hilarity.
